This single serving coffee maker is great for the home or the office – it’s compact, simple to operate, and offers different options for each cup. With a brewing system that dispenses coffee directly into your waiting cup, there’s no carafe or hot plate for you to clean. The SS-1 Cup-O-Matic Single Serving Coffee Maker is fully compatible with both ground coffee and coffee pods. To brew, remove the brew cup and place your coffee in the brew basket inside of the brew cup. A slide lock keeps the brew basket in place, though it can be unlocked and removed for cleaning.
